Passage 1: Excerpt from Behind the Bedroom Wall, Laura E. Williams

Korinna shifted her bulky book bag from one frozen hand to the other. They're calling him a Jew
lover.
"Who'd want to hide a stinking Jew? Besides, held be dead already if he'd been hiding a Jew." Rita said,
"I heard Hans tell Papa they're supposed to shoot first and ask questions later. Herr Haase must have been seen
talking to a Jew."
"How can it be so terrible just to be talking to a Jew? Eva asked, shaking her head, her short, dirty
blond hair swinging against her cheeksi
Rita looked at her sideways her eyes narrowing slightly. You don't see anything wrong with it?" she

them Germany will be strong!
